ObjectiveTo determine T box expressed in T cells (T bet), GATA binding protein-3 (GATA 3), and retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor gammat (RORgammat) in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsThirty rats were randomly divided into a control and a COPD group. The COPD model was established through smoking and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) tracheal instillation. Pulmonary function of the rats was measured 28 d after the establishment of the COPD model by a spirometer. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect serum γ interferon (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-17. The expressions of T-bet, GATA-3, and RORgammat protein in lung tissues were determined by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the controls, the COPD rats had decreased pulmonary function and expression of serum IL-4, and increased INF-γ, IL- 17, Th1/Th2, T-bet, T bet /GATA-3, and RORgammat protein (P<0. 05). Forced expiratory volume in 0. 3 seconds (FEV 0.3) was negatively correlated with INF γ and T-bet/GATA-3. Forced vital capacity (FVC) was positively correlated with IL 4. FEV0.3/FVC was negatively correlated with Thl/Th2, T-bet and T-bet/GATA-3. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) was negatively correlated with IL-17, T bet, and RORgammat (P<0. 05). Thl/Th2 was positively correlated with T bet/GATA-3. IL-17 was positively correlated with RORgammat. T bet/GATA-3 was positively correlated with RORgammat (P<0. 05).ConclusionImbalanced regulation of T bet / GATA 3 and RORgammat on Th1/Th2 and Th17 cells is associated with the occurrence of COPD.
